Google Play is so laggy!

After a year, Google Play is STILL the laggiest piece of software I have seen on ANY platform. How can Google still have it so laggy? I never use Google play because the experience sucks.
How come Google didn't fire the guy who approved the app with such lags and still haven't solved this issue?

User error.

You're alone on this one, I don't have any problems beyond things not updating as fast as I'd want them to be, and some downloads never starting.

It's a bit glitchy but not enough to make me not want to use it.

Are we talking about the market? If so mine is nice and smooth, but it was laggy before but they updated it long ago.

When you scroll up or down when browsing apps its sooo lagy! But when you view an app its very smooth. Also transitions on Google play is very choppy.
Maybe this is an ICS issue because its the same on every app

You may need to re flash your phone or something. I am on my GSII and other than the millisecond it takes for the icon to appear the market is very fast and smooth. I can flick my finger and scroll through fifty apps with no issue..... Every click and backspace is smooth..... You might want to try and smooth your phone out..... Seems like issues from flashing a million times. Don't forget to wipe..... And wipe again.
killing is my business, And business is good.

You're holding it wrong. But seriously the only lag you mention might be when you scroll down the page is caching more apps and you're waiting for it to download. The faster your connection the less lag/caching you will experience. Everything else is as smooth as my latency allows. No lag here.

When looking at a long list of apps, scroll the page/screen one app at a time, then you'll have no lag.
Like everyone's said, there's "lag" because the screen is generating/downloading/updating the blank app icons to the app icon's picture.

To the OP you seriously have some really bad problems with android. You were ranting about nexus and the updates now about the play store why don't you go with iOS or windows phone 7. I personally went with iOS for 6 months and yes there is less bugs (yes they do have bugs trust me ) but the system is so closed the you get bored at it ( at least I did ) and the app store takes longer on iOS ( I do still have my ipad tho ) but is just how it is. Nothing is perfect nothing will be. Personally I haven't played with windows phone 7 much so I can't give you any excuses but that it doesn't have the apps and some are too expensive. Please move on if you feel like it, I do no feel the phone laggy and I don't have problems with it. I don't look for something wrong I just use it as normal and so far mine everything works normal .
For the rest sorry for the long post. Please let's move on and forget about this

Honor 8 pro stuttering and lag

There's a lot of micro stutter while using chrome, firefox and even many pdf readers.
Stuttering is also present while gaming. Yesterday, I tried playing temple run 2 on my honor 8 pro and it lagged like hell (yes, I'm talking about temple run 2). Even Vector 2 stuttered a lot.
For comparison, I ran the same apps on some other devices I had (redmi note 4, leeco 2) and found no stuttering or lag.
I got the phone just 2 days back and am thinking of getting it replaced or returned
I'm wondering if you guys are facing the same issue.

Do a reset and see if u still face this issue.

I did try other browsers (Samsung's browser, firefox, firefox focus), all with the same stuttering. I then used those apps on other devices and found no stuttering.
I've already sent a request for replacement, if the new device still has the stuttering, I'll mail them.
(We'll also have some solid evidence for the issue being replicated on multiple devices)

That Facebook lag is because of the buggy Facebook app.

(Discussion) how are your impression of android 8.0 on pixel c?

As you all know Google has rolled out android Oreo to the masses , including the pixel c . I've got the notification on may tablet but too afraid to click install since 7.1.2 working really well for me . My main concern is battery life , being burned with 7.0 before I rather weary of the new software update to 8.0 . I'm using my tablet primary to take notes on lectures so I need a solid battery life.
Can any of you give me an impression of performance and general usability of pixel c with android Oreo installed ? I am using stock pixel c without and root or modifications

Android O works like a charm on my Pixel C. The performance is good, generally no stuttering, lagging etc. Microsoft Word isn't working though, Google Docs saves the day. I use the tablet for notes in lectures too, and I easily get a day and a half of use.
Edit: I'm on stock Oreo, no root, no mods.

It's nice to know . I'm using quid as my primary note taking app . The Oreo impression is generally best across all pixel devices except for people who wanted all of the new feature on their Nexus 5x. . . Anyways thanks for giving your input!
I guess I'll wait a couple of weeks before attempting to update . My exam is coming soon and I cannot accept change in my tablet yet.
P.s this forum is really quiet isn't it ?

Your welcome
I can imagine Android O isn't the best match with Nexus 5x. I had the 5x for a couple of months and all it did was throttle and stutter. My old Nexus 5 is way better on Nougat.
Yes, it's a little too quiet her here, hopefully it picks up.
OT: I tried to find Quid in Play Store, the only app I found was Quidd, a virtual sticker collector app in beta. Can't imagine it works well as a note app. Could you please guide me in the right direction?

I haven't actually used Netflix or Youtube, so I can't help you there. I enrolled in the beta program at dp4 and received an OTA of the public Oreo release about a week ago.

Only been on Oreo for a few days since installing and seems to be ok, no issues.
Doesn't "seem" to be a major update.

I've had both Word and Excel installed before upgrading to Oreo.
both apps work fine for me under Oreo. Would cleaning cache for these apps fix your white screens?

Clearing cache only gives me force close when trying to start the app. Force close is better than a white screen though.

Installed my OTA update to Oreo from Nougat 7.1.2 today. No issues so far but haven't really done alot either and update went smoothly.
I did notice that this Oreo update also shows a Updating Firmware splash screen that I've never noticed in other updates. Did I just not see them or is this new? What was changed in the FW?

I installed the update....
and apart from a oddity, where the update screen seemed to get stuck in a loop looking for further updates (I had to shut the pixel c down, and start it back up, to fix this)..it's been a fantastic update so far, very smooth and far more fluid. Everything seems to be a bit snappier, and it seems to be loading webpages and youtube more efficiently, and quickly..
BUT!!...I wouldn't recommend you update immediately if you, can't afford for anything to go wrong, as i tend to find that something will be broken somewhere, that we're not yet aware of (like Picture in Picture crashing when you try to use it)....
Maybe wait until you've got all your important stuff, out of the way before you update...
Hope this helps?

nah , it´s okay. To be expected really. :angel: after all next month pixel c will be 2 years old.

No, afaik project treble will be available only on phones launching with O.
About my experience, the update seems pretty nice so far. The performance is about the same. I never had lag or bad perf on this tablet honestly. The only problem I have had are two random reboots two days ago. The rest is fine.
As with all major revisions of android, it will take some time before all the apps are fully compatible with the Os and use the new APIs.

So I flashed in fastboot and run magisk. There is a weird situation when you reboot to go into recovery it says it is flashing firmware, I not seen that message before.
Magisk works, passes safetynet check.
I saw mention that Word crashes, well that is still true initially, when I open a document, it opens then then closes again, tried it 3 times then it stayed open, something about needing to download fonts? So it works eventually.
Battery status is weird, when plugged into power it is says is it NOT charging, when I pull USB cable out, it says it is charging. Small bug, but what you expect for version 0 of 8.
Chrome closes and reopened a few times, but then settled.

I rolled back from clean Oreo to Pure Nexus 7.1.2.
The main reason why is unbearable lags in Youtube app - when the active video is minimized and you want to browse Youtube it's just completely unusable. I think couple of times it stayed this way even without a background video.
Overall I was not happy with the performance so went back to Nougat and the difference is night/day.

Q beta as a Daily driver?

It's been out for a while now, and for a few days I'm wondering if it is stable enough for daily use.
From my researches i found some different opinions...
Some of them were about better battery life on Q than on pie... Some were about worse battery life... And some about crappy image quality with Q....
Can you guys tell me What problems did you face on Q? What are pros and cons vs pie?
Thanks!

For me even beta 3 was okay.. Switched to custom rom only because missing viper and normal file browsing in root folder.. Overall stability and battery was much more better than any rom I have tried.. And it was pretty smooth

I've been using q as my daily since beta 1. That said it is of course beta so you will run into some bugs. Overall it's a good experience and I'm loving the gesture navigation once getting used to it. Also I huge fan of the dark mode. Go into it keeping in mind if you decide to roll back to pie it'll wipe your data

Not yet for me as I use nova and gestures still don't work properly. Otherwise I'd say I'd be ok using it full time.

I am loving it as well. Installed beta 4 just after release. However, some important apps I use daily are not really working properly. Some crash outright, some crash after some time. I forget though, if I revert back, I know I will have to wipe my phone for it, but will it automatically revert to my backup from Pie?

Yeah a few apps that were fine for me in beta 3 aren't working well it at all for me in beta 4 as well. OneDrive just force closes, Twitter notifications for subscribed tweets closes,and MLB at Bat says it's not supported even if it worked just fine with beta 3.
If you go back to Android Pie you have to factory reset.

Been my daily since beta 3...some issues but good enough for daily
Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk

I prefer not to be a beta tester because I use my phone for business. But the built in call blocking feature that Google took away from all market apps running on Oreo or Pie, makes it worth using on a daily basis. I can put up with a shorter battery life, and plug it in my van for a recharge when I am driving.
In my opinion, it makes for a good daily driver.

Only issue I'm having is that my banking app won't work, but that's expected and in the release notes

no, your backup is now overwritten by a Q backup that Pie won't be able to use. You can use third-party backup apps instead

Actually, if you're referring to Google cloud/drive backup, once you revert to Pie, you can restore from previous backups. You will have to sign into apps like Instagram, etc., but it works. I have done it several times.

The first three were great. 4 has been crashing for me, and about half the time, I have to kill and restart apps in order to start them.

120hz not always on...

Hey,
I have been using the S20 since release and I am really satisfied with the overall package this device delivers. For me it's the best on the market right now.
Especially the 120hz feature was something I was looking forward. Now there seem to be some inconsistencies regarding the frame rate. The device seems to change the framerate variably like the Pixel 4 does. The experience of the 4 was horrible for me on a daily basis. I could see the jumping between frame rates which resulted in ugly frame drops that could be recognized as lag. The only devices that delivered what they promised have been the OnePlus devices do far. Nevertheless the 120hz experience on the S20 seems nearly flawless. I am not able to tell if it is happening at all besides one occasion: Using Google maps.
When I open Google maps there is choppyness nearly every time, the animation is always laggy. This is so frustrating and annoying. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Reports claim that the device is switching while using resource hungry apps like maps or the camera. To me this simply is false advertisement. Selling a120hz device that once again seems to not be 120hz all the time....

I feel ya 1000% it's already bad that we can use 120Hz only with FHD+ but it's like rubbing salt into the wound that half of the apps run @60Hz...
But there is this tasker profile on xda that can be used for running all apps @120Hz!
I rooted my S20+ yesterday and maybe in the coming days/weeks we get mod's or modules or something that maybe can run 120Hz with QHD+ resolution without any app limitation.

Yeah this is simply rubbish. I am currently using the stock launcher which is pretty good too be fair. Can you verify this annoying behavior of the lagging animation when opening the Google maps app (only while using 120hz)? Sometimes it is smooth but most of the time it is choppy as hell . Maybe you could try it out a few times and give me feedback I would like to get a confirmation here so that I know that it isn't on my end or something with my device.
You mean this thread for the tasker profile?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/force-120hz-apps-youre-supposed-to-t4053129
Have you tested it out since the latest release seems to be from February? Root is necessary, right?

I don't use the stock launcher so I can't test it right know. But I don't think it's anything with your device it's simply the switch between modes wich causes dropped frames.
yes I mean that profile. And no it works without root. you just need tasker. my trial ended but during it this profile really worked.

Well that sounds awesome I will give it a shot then! Thank you for the recommendation!
And yes I am guessing this is the typical switching behavior between the 2 modes as it seems smooth when on 60hz constantly.
Edit: The profile doesn't improve this Google maps issue on stock launcher. Interestingly activating the profile and keeping maps on 60hz does help. The animation then is smoother but not with 120 only with 60 frames.
I tried 3rd party launchers and noticed that they are running with 60 in the 120 mode. This is ridiculous... Can you confirm that although system is set to 120 the 3rd party launchers run at 60fps? My solution for now is: Use the tasker profile and set 3rd party launcher (I have tested Nova and Lawnchair) to 120. Now everything is smooth as butter even opening maps ?. I honestly think this maps issue is a problem with the stock launcher as opening is smooth on the mentioned 3rd party launchers with the tasker profile activated.
